The correct version numbers for C# are as follows:
The current version of C# is 11.0, which was released in November 2022 with .NET 7.0.
It is important to note that the version number of C# does not always correspond to the version number of .NET. For example, C# 6.0 was released with .NET 4.6.2, and C# 7.0 was released with .NET 4.7.2.
The version number of C# is typically divided into four parts: major, minor, build, and revision. The major version number indicates a significant change to the language, such as the addition of new features or keywords. The minor version number indicates a smaller change, such as bug fixes or performance improvements. The build number is used to track internal changes to the language, and the revision number is used to track changes to the documentation.
For example, the version number C# 10.0.17763.0 has the following parts:
The major version number 10 indicates that this is the tenth major release of C#. The minor version number 0 indicates that this is the first minor release of C# 10. The build number 17763 indicates that this is the 17763rd build of C# 10.0. The revision number 0 indicates that this is the original release of C# 10.0.17763.0.
